About this work
This drawing shows two winged figures in bright red and blue robes, standing on fluffy white clouds.
This drawing shows two winged figures in bright red and blue robes, standing on fluffy white clouds. One holds a golden cup, the other makes a blessing gesture. Below them, a small figure kneels beside a bed where someone lies still. The background is a deep blue with gold stars and a banner reading "CHESTAGI."
The two standing figures are likely angels—notice their halos and wings. The year "1867" is written in the corner, but the style feels older.
Next, look up saint to see how these figures connect to religious stories.
